PatentMind Netherlands is a highly specialized intellectual property consultancy and training organization. We focus on patent protection for innovations in information and communications technology, mainly with the European Patent Office (EPO), with emphasis on software and artificial intelligence inventions. Is your invention a mix of software and hardware, or even entirely implemented in software? Or is it an artificial intelligence invention? Then PatentMind Netherlands is your partner.
Software and artificial intelligence inventions are complex and hard to deal with. It is there that we add value, supporting you in cases that risk going the wrong way. If there is still a chance of getting that patent granted or winning that court case, PatentMind Netherlands will find it for you and save the day.
We cherish entrepreneurship and understand ourselves as the advocates of innovation. We value close communication with our clients, we focus on our clients’ business objectives, and we make sure we are available exactly when our advice, guidance and presence is needed.
We love what we do, and we do it with professionalism, competence and effectiveness. And we are skilled in explaining complex things in plain language and in thinking out of the box.
